The player at the left of the dealer begins by 
playing a card from his hand, and each player to the 
left plays on it. If 'possible, each must play a card of 
the same series as led; if not, he can play a crowned 
card to take the play, or may throw an unimportant 
card of any other series on it. The highest card of 
■^■e series led takes the play, unless crowned cards 
been played on it, in which case the highest 
card takes it.

in the same pile'). And so the play continues around 
the table to the left, each player endeavoring to build 
from his hand on to one of the piles on the table, or 
start a new pile by playing a No. 7 card. 

If a player (including the leader at the start of the 
game) can not play a card from his hand, a penalty of 
one point is immediately scored against him by the 
score-keeper, this penalty being inflicted every time 
such player can not play when it is his turn to do so. 

The player first getting rid of all the cards from 
his hand is credited with one point for each card held 
in the each of the other players' hands. 

When a player plays the last card from his hand, 
no more cards can be played, but all cards held at the 
time must be counted, and one point for each card 
credited to the player who has played the last card. 

As soon as the scores have been properly credited 
to the winner, a new deal is had, and the play proceeds t \ 
as before. S 

Twenty-five or fifty points constitute a game, at the \ 
discretion of the players. i 

In case a player incurs a penalty, and has no pointsS 
to his credit from which to subtract such penalty, he 
is considered as "owing" the amount of such penalty 
or penalties, which amount must be subtracted from 
the first points he makes. A player will very frequently i 
owe quite a number of points before he scores any to i 
his credit. ! 

In case two only desire to pla> , deal out the cards 
as if three were playing, allowing the third hand to lie ■ 
on the table. Then each time either piayer plays a \ 
card from his hand, he draws one from this third hand, 
until it is exhausted.
